Hey,

With the labour situation in calgary it is really hard to find a decent job becasue most places will hire anyone which really effects the working atmosphere.... In the new year i will be looking for a new job and i think many other people will be too....

I thought a thread based on peoples work experience may help everyone who is in the market! (wages, job description, hours, atmosphere, first hand experience etc. would be great)

thanks

Definately not pharmaceutical sales.....you spend your days catering lunches to doctors offices and sitting in waiting rooms with sick people coughing on you all day.

I can't believe I went to school to do this job. My uncle was right....I should have been a garbage man.

I would say a better job for students would be a serving or bartending gig where they can make tips, work in a fun environment, and maybe get some action.

I used to be a tripper for Hertz they pay was shit but it was a fun job..all we did was drive the rentals to different locations and the staff there was realy easy going. You were allowed to go work when ever you wanted and leave when ever.

Best job in Cgy has to be Drug Dealer!

I mean, look @ Importz, he has everythang! :bigpimp:

Plus, compareed to all other cities, the 'gang violence' and 'turfwar' stuff here is quite weak, while with the surge in population, business must be booming!

100% take home aint bad either
